1. A method of treating a disease associated with ILT7-expressing cells that comprises inflammation, the method comprising administering an effective amount of an anti-Immunoglobulin-like transcript-7 (ILT7) antibody to a subject in need thereof, wherein the ILT7 antibody comprises Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs) HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3, LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, wherein the HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3, LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 comprise the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 203, 204, 205, 208, 209, and 210, respectively, and wherein the administering is effective in treating the disease as determined by detecting a reduced level of interferon-alpha or plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in the subject in need thereof after the administering.
